We offer today three more games from the Lancashire vs. Yorkshire match. In the first, contested on fourth board, Mr. Burton of Yorkshire gains an early advantage on the King-side vs. Mr. Kelly of Lancashire and carries his attack through to victory in only 21 moves:
In the following thirteenth-board encounter Mr. Powell scores a point for Lancashire, besting Mr. Berryman of Yorkshire via some fine King-side attacking play of his own:
Our final offering of the day comes from the 25th board. Mr. Cortlett of Lancashire advances advantageously on the Queen-side, but misses a winning blow (25.b6!). Then an unfortunate blunder a few moves later allows Mr. Sugden of Yorkshire to end the game immediately with an unanswerable double attack:
